Basque Salad

SUBMITTED BY: MARILYN PERZIK  PHOTO BY: Peach Brandy Cottage 

"This recipe is inspired by Woolgrowers Restaurant in Bakersfield, California. Among the many appetizers they give, there is one that is very much like this salad which is handy to have in the refrigerator. It is very good and close to my inspiration."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 medium fresh tomatoes - cored, quartered, and sliced as thin as possible
  • 1 large cucumber - peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced
  • 1 Spanish onion - peeled, cut in half, and thinly sliced
  •  
  • Dressing:
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil

  1. In a large bowl, toss together the green, red, and yellow peppers with the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Whisk in oregano, basil, and marjoram. Continue whisking until ingredients are well blended and the oil and vinegar are emulsified.
